NEW MOEN ULITE SERIES BBD CHIP ANALOG DELAY

THE MOEN ULITE SERIES ANALOG DELAY( WITH REAL BBD CHIPSET)

COMING SOON !!

Moen is at it again in their new Ulite series of effects. Already a strong introduction line-up, Moen is pleased to announce the addition of the latest in the series... the new Ulite Analog Delay coming soon.

We all know that many effect manufacturers have taken a lot of liberties lately in calling some Delays "True Analog" when in fact they are only Digital chips with "Analog voicing" While some of these sound really nice and offer some authentic tones..... they are not truly Analog.

The new Moen unit is a true Analog Delay that utilizes a real BBD chip, not commonly found in most units these days. Using a BBD chip is the only way to achieve true Analog and capture that truly authentic and warm rounded sound.

BBD chips are not commonly manufactured much anymore, but in the pursuit of authentic tone, Moen has secured these BBD chips for the new Analog Delay.

We will keep you informed here on when these units become available for purchase. Move 'em with MOEN......

Martin Behr Melody Part II and Moen Effects

As promised, here is part 2 of with Martin Behr jammin' live with his new pedalboard configuration featuring the new Moen GEC 434 Looper along with the Moen Overdrive, Holy Choir Chorus and the Uni-Comp Compressor. Martin takes you through a lot of tonal territory here with softer interludes leading into full blown rock passages to show off the versatility of both the new board and his incredible technique. We are extremely happy to have Martin in the Moen family so listen and enjoy.

From Martin:
"I usually use Ibanez guitars for my solo stuff but tried strats this time around. The pedalboard I use here is very versatile. All the sounds in Parts I and II are achieved with 2 strats, the pedalboard, Laney head and Marshall cab without touching the settings. Besides the MOEN GEC434 (looper), I use the MOEN Holy Choir, Overdrive and Uni Comp."
Please see www.martinbehr.de for more details.

Martin Behr and new Moen GEC434 Guitar Commander

Pedalboard #4 (Large Gator)Since November 2008, I proudly endorse MOEN effects pedals. This board is mainly used for the SUNNY SKIES and sessions as it delivers a lot of great and very authentic vintage sounds. (If I need to get rude, I can turn on the Violent Metal at any time.) This versatile board features the MOEN Holy Choir, Overdrive, Uni Comp and Violent Metal, Catalinbread Silver Kiss MKII, Boss Digital Reverb, Ibanez Digital Modulation Delay, Dunlop Cry Baby Wah, Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic modded by Tonehunter (Ralf Reichen), Ibanez Tuner and the brand new programmable MOEN GEC434 which does the main switching with 4 loops, Tuner Mute and Solo Boost. This board loves Strats and I love this board. Soon I'll put up an in depth demonstration of how the GEC434 works and how I have set it up to control the whole rig. You can allready hear and see me use this board live on YouTube.

This is new GEC434 Guitar Commander from Moen. This is a very versatile unit capable of many different set up configurations and you will be seeing more on this great switching unit shortly and should be available now as of this writing. But for starters I have included a part one here of the great Martin Behr working with the Commander in a live situation. A promised part 2 is coming along shortly with a full blown vid of the details and specs of the Commander.

From Martin:

April 13, 2009 - Monday
New Live Video on YouTube
On this gig I was having a lot of fun using my new pedalboard featuring the brand new MOEN GEC434 looper. My strats are plugged into the board and from there go directly into a Laney head and Marshall cab. I absolutely love the sound I'm getting with my strats and this board!

Check back soon for Part II of the Medley as well as an in depth demonstration of the GEC434 and how it's used to control effects.

MOEN "ULITE" EFFECT SERIES HAVE ARRIVED

The new Moen Ulite series is now out to market and these first three entries introduced in this series are the new Vibe, Compressor, and the mean and nasty Octave Fuzz.

Moen had been asked if they could produce effects that would easily fit pedalboards where space can be limited, as the Moen original casings are larger and do take up more space on pedalboard configurations.

Moen has now responded with their excellent new Ulite series of effects which features full Analog tone in a much smaller casing that caters directly to pedalboard users. Moen has taken all their knowledge thus far and put it into this series. The new Ulite series features an excellent quality build throughout that you see, feel and hear along with top loading inputs to save space, full metal casing, quality adjustment knobs, heavy duty stomp switch and True Bypass.

They truly are compact, will fit nicely on the board and are very powerful.

All units come with a one year repair or replace warranty guarantee for worry free operation.

Check 'em all out!

The Moen FUZZ MOO and Bassist Bret Calder

The Moen Fuzz Moo has been finding it's way onto more pedal boards and stages as the word spreads out about the MOO's powerful tone and value.

This time in the very capable hands of Mr. Bret Calder, an incredible bassist from the New York area. Bret has been involved in many notable projects in his career and has now found home in the band I,Parasite, where he has spent the last 5 years honing his sound.

This year, the band will release it's 3rd album, " The Sick Are Not Healing"

I, Parasite's sound is great mixture of atmospheric waves and raw power where Bret (and the Fuzz Moo) really come through.

A bit of the band's history:

For over ten years I, Parasite has been making aggressive, atmospheric, and experimental electronic/rock sounds. Starting out as a duo in 1997, co-founders Justin Butts and Christopher Jon released Turin and Horseslayer on a small indie label. After parting ways in 2001, Chris went on to release On This Cold Floor on his own DARKVISIONMEDIA label in mid 2003. The album received critical acclaim from all over the world and led to Chris working with Grammy nominated producer and Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano on Cradle Of Filth's Thornography.

Now I, Parasite is preparing to release their third full length album, The Sick Are Not Healing (which includes an appearance from Caggiano on the song "The Stone Doctor"). For this Christopher has assembled a new band: longtime live bassist Bret Calder, Nino (guitar), Brandon (acoustic and electronic drums), and Michael Renfield (keyboards). Expect more from I, Parasite – the band – in 2009.


Quote from Bret:

"The Big Muff pedal I had on board where the Moo is now is now collecting dust. I see no need for it now that I'm using your pedal. The Fuzz Moo is the Muff Eater" ..... Thanks Bret :)

It should also be noted here, that once Iparasite guitarist Nino heard the Fuzz Moo, he went out and got one for his board too. Thanks Nino.
